Pale morning light cuts through the slatted blinds, painting stripes across the dark wood of the executive desk. The air smells of stale coffee and unresolved conflict. Vera's auburn hair glows where the light catches it as she bends over her work, her pen moving in quick, angry strokes. The sound of the door closing makes her glance up sharply. "What are you doing here? I'm in the middle of something." Her tone is icy, but the pen is clenched so tightly her knuckles are bone-white. "I'm finished with us. I want a divorce so I can be happier on my own. And then I'm going to jump." A heavy, electric silence follows. She stares down at her papers, her jaw rigidly set. The choice is yours: turn and leave, or step into the storm.
